International forum “Mission: Establishing a Bioregion in the Gauja National Park”

All interested parties are invited to join the International forum “Mission: Establishing a Bioregion in the Gauja National Park” in Sigulda, Latvia. It is organised by a broad cooperation of organisations and municipal administrations and will bring together numerous experts from different fields and projects, including the EU projects KISMET, WeMakeTransition! (Interreg BSR) and Cities2030 (Horizon 2020). This event will bring together all the stakeholders who care about the development of sustainable food in the region. The forum will also be a valuable platform for the implementation of the KISMET activities, as the experts will hold discussions about the current affairs, problems, challenges, and interests of this field in one place. It will provide important information and a basis for the future activities in the development of a food strategy and in the education of consumers and producers. Experts from Latvia and abroad will present the bioregion concept and activities in Europe and will share inspiring examples of forward-thinking regional development. Bioregion Examples Worldwide and in Europe will be presented by Jostein Hertwig, Executive Director of the Global Alliance of Bioregions, KISMET partner representing BERAS International, Sweden.
